Maternal-Fetal Medicine

The Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine provides high-risk obstetric care and/or consultation, and is immediately available to provide intrapartum or antepartum medical care. Along with genetic and diabetic counselors, and nurses, who specialize in caring for special pregnancies, our perinatologists offer experience, expertise and state-of-the-art technology to monitor and manage complicated pregnancies. The Maternal-Fetal Testing Center provides complete prenatal assessment, testing, genetic counseling and fetal therapy. An extensive program for teaching genetic assessment and antenatal fetal surveillance is available to residents. The development of expertise in the management of high-risk pregnancy is a central teaching activity of the division, and includes formal rotations on the maternal-fetal service. During this rotation, the resident receives personalized instruction by the faculty in ultrasound assessment.
